you woke me this morning,when i wasn't ready,so i wouldn't missthe chorus the birds were singing;

you pulled me out of bed,as reluctant as i was,so the dog could lead medown to the lake,where i was gracedwith a smilefrom a childon her way to swimming lessons;

you broke my night's fast,with the chatter of squirrels,and the dew-laden lilies.

you have given methis day,Marvelous God,that i might share it with others.Amen.
